Sütve

Sütve is a Hungarian term used in cooking as the adverbial participle of the verb sütni, which means to bake or roast. It describes food that has been prepared by dry heat in an oven or over a heat source and is commonly found in recipes and menus.

Etymology and grammar: It is formed from the verb sütni with the suffix -ve, functioning as a participle. It can be used attributively with a noun to indicate the preparation method (for example 'olívaolajban sütve') or adverbially to modify a cooking verb phrase.

Usage in cuisine: Sütve emphasizes the method of cooking rather than a particular texture. It is distinct from the adjective sütölt, which is more commonly used for the finished roasted item, but in practice both can appear in descriptions depending on style. In recipes, sütve helps indicate that the dish was prepared by baking in an oven rather than boiling or frying.

Examples: 'csirke olívaolajban sütve' (chicken baked in olive oil), 'zöldségek tepsiben sütve' (vegetables baked on a tray).
